dvd drive disappeared!
Not quite sure what happened, but the other day, i turned off my computer for whatever reason, i dont remember, and when i turned it back on, my dvd-drive is "missing"!
its a fairly old, pioneer a09xlc dvd-rw drive, and its getting power, but something with the sata cable, im assuming, is the problem. its not showing up anywhere on the computer nor is it in BIOS.
i have tried looking for drivers, but cant find anything and the ones ive tried, wont work because the drive "isnt there".
please, any help would be greatly appreciated
/EDIT
also, since i forgot, its an IDE drive, but i have an IDE - sata converter on it that hasnt been moved or changed recently
